Hazell Dean
With incomparable range and power, Hazell Dean defined the 80’s for a whole generation. Hazell established a formidable reputation as Queen of the British Clubs, scoring a succession of massive club and dance hits which crossed successfully into main stream charts.
Her professional singing career started back in the 70’s when Hazell developed her singing style by performing Pop and Soul numbers but eventually started veering towards dance music, marking a new stage in her career.
In 1984 she had her first chart entry with a double A sided record (Evergreen) Jealous Love which made the UK Top 75. Two months later Hazell was back in the pop charts with her electrifying recording of Searchin’ (Proto Records) which sailed to no. 6 and remained in the Top 75 for 15 weeks. Hazell sold more singles than any other British female singer in that year.
By the end of the 80s Hazell had become a chart regular, thanks to the single Whatever I do which reached no. 4, Back in my arms no. 41, They say it’s gonna rain no. 58, Who’s leaving who no. 4, Maybe no.15, Turn it into love no. 21 and Love pains, no.48.
Hazell provided Stock/Aitken/Waterman with their first top 10 hit Whatever I do and achieved massive worldwide success, having chart hits across Europe, South Africa, Australia and the Far East. However, much of Hazell’s success was achieved in America with Searchin’ topping the Billboard Dance Charts for 5 consecutive weeks. Love Pains was voted best Hi NRG remix 1989 and Better off without you best commercial 12’’ single 1991.
Along with being voted best female performer 3 times by the Federation of American Dance Clubs, the single They say it’s gonna rain became a Miami Anthem and proved to be massively successful with Florida’s dance radio stations. Hazell was also voted best female performer in the prestigious Club Mirror Awards in 1988, and when EMI released Hazell Dean’s Greatest Hits in 1996 it proved to be their most successful album in the hits range of that year.
Hazell continues to write and produce for established and new artists, and fortunately there’s just no stopping Hazell with her ever popular live show!!
